1. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
2. Position an egg roll wrapper like a diamond and add cheese, cole slaw, corned beef, and 2 julienne carrots in the middle.
3. Roll up according to the directions on the back of the wrapper, sealing the end with a damp finger.
4. Fry 3 egg rolls at a time for approximately 4 minutes, turning halfway.
5. Bring the oil temperature back to 350 degrees and fry the remaining egg rolls.
6. Cool on paper towels.
